That’s the first time I’ve seen the Canadian given priority over a freight train. Lol. Beautiful layout Emmerson, hoping to see it in person someday soon.
Your Canadian runs better than my two. I've added a spacer washer (red) to each truck and swapped couplers which made it better, but a few cars still don't run all that great. Did you do any other modifications to improve running? They are such beautiful cars, but my Panorama line cars unmodified run better and my Turbo is a dream runner. I'll figure it out eventually and get them going right.
David.. The video by Grant on his Southern Alberta Rail channel is pretty complete. About half of the cars had some issue with free rolling. I ground out about 0.020" on the frame as Grant suggests. I did not change wheels nor couplers and the train set runs very well now. I have now modified about 30 cars for friends at the club
@@dckmusic It sound worse than it really is. It takes me 5 minutes a car. Just clear the excess material on the coupler end. The domes have excess material on the other end of one truck.. it is obvious. I have had 4 different train sets on my layout and they all run vey well now
Very nice, Rod! The bridge crossing shots are especially impressive.

Thanks Richard. The advantage of being the dispatcher and the loco engineer
Spectacular video
Hoth cold storage 😮

@@rodneycase Thanks for that. I didn't want to get into the grinding, but I guess that is the next step. I want them to run as good as they look.

@@rodneycase Thanks, I appreciate it. I'll give it a go.
